Touring the island, guided by driver Valentine, we stopped at various points including Devil’s Bridge, from where wonderful colours in the water inside a reef, are just visible in the background. Then to the largest of the sugar plantations, Betty’s Hope, to see the large windmill structure used to crush the sugar cane, one of many on the island. We ended up for sunset and beyond at Shirley Heights where, on a clear day, you can see Guadeloupe from the cliff tops. Valentine found a commanding view from a protruding rock on the cliff top! Then we moved to another part above English and Falmouth Harbours for party time! A steel band, the best I’ve ever heard, accompanied a BBQ and was then followed by another excellent jam session by others after the sun set. The view across the harbours was stunning as the light changed, our hotel being clearly visible in Nelson’s Dockyard. A very enjoyable finale in Antiqua. And, who says this fella can't take a gal to the best places in town for a good lunch?
